Killer Instinct 1 & 2 on Original Xbox via KI-XXX

Killer Instinct by Rareware's dedicated fighting game. It is the Capcom's Street Fighter II and Midway's Mortal Kombat. Killer Instinct borrows from many popular games and adds a touch of its own, released in 1994 KI had unbelievable graphics for a fighting game. Rareware are the developers of Donkey Kong Country and we all know how advanced those graphics were for the SNES so just imagine what they did with a dedicated arcade cabinet. KI was dark themed like Mortal Kombat and had an awesome soundtrack as well. However, the greatest part of KI was the combo system and the combo breakers with great fighting game commentary. Once you got a hold of the combo routine you would spend matches trying to land your longest combo on an opponent.Fighting games are best enjoyed with friends and many of us have memories on the Super Nintendo.
